This was in the hotel gym and I found the perm to be quite hypmotysing. I think I looked closely at each scetch. Examining the subtle nuances between how the perm was portraid in each pose was consuming.
These were not done by Michelangelo; however, who knew how lifelike an artist could make a perm look with just a simple outline? It jumps right off the page.
This is a box of chocolate at the check-out line in a bookstore. There were several flavors to chose from but the one's that enticed me the most were these.
"With a Smooth Filling". Not truffle, not almonts, not mint. "With a Smooth Filling". Awesome, what do they have in them? Well, it tasted somewhere in between Jack Nicholson and Magnum P.I.
Smooth.
I wonder what the radicals are that make it up. Or, maybe 'men' is a radical. I don't know. Apparently, reading Japanese is an incredibly difficult task; even for the Japanese. There are 3 "languages" and all of them can appear in a block of text at any given point.
I once met an American who had been living there for several years and studying the language for about a decade. He could interpret written Japanese but because it's not phonetic, to read it aloud to an audience correctly, he said, would be awkward, arduous, and most likely embarrassing.
There were no FD present yet and there were homes endangered just atop this small hill. I wonder. Is it always careless smokers flicking their butts out the window? I see patches of burnt often just off highways and fail to conceive of an alternative cause.
This is the opening scene at a Safeway, an uncomfortable 5 feet from the door. So close, in fact, that cart pushers have to let those exiting exit before they can enter.
Framed on our left is that waskely wabbit, Bugs, telling our kids that eating right is cool, it's fun, and quite frankly that if Bugs is doing it, you should too.
Framed on our left is a plethora of delicious filled and frosted goodies. Twinkies, Cupcakes, pies of all flavors, Ho-Ho's, Suzy Q's, and my personal favorite (I love the premise, although I don't they're fit for human consumption) - Snowballs!
How can you resist the chocolate cake and the marshmallow, dusted in coconut, and dyed hot pink? You can't.
I opted for the "Sweet Pork Breakfast Plate" which consisted of, well, chunks of sweet pork on one side of the plastic container and scrambled eggs over garlic rice on the other.
The rice was garlic-y, I like it strong, but this would turn most Americans off. I guess "Sweet Pork Breakfast Plate" would do that too. Maybe next time I'll get the "Tender Beef Breakfast Plate" instead.
I don't think there will be a next time soon, but I was watching the Discovery Channel shortly after dining here and watched an apartment building in the Philippines collapse. What was directly across the street from said apartment building?
That's right. A Jollibee.
The products these proprietors make are sometimes do not mesh well with each other but the idea behind is sound - keeping the place open.
Rent is a fixed cost so if people only want to buy sandwiches at lunchtime, what can you sell in the morning and at night? This is where you see creativity shine.
There's nothing wrong with mixing two odd ball products. The only really issue is aesthetics (which is a big issue, I guess). Otherwise, what would be wrong with a Chinese Cuisine/Pet Store?
For a few weeks about a year ago I exercised making decisions immediately when asked. E.g. instead of saying, "I don't care," "you choose," or "whatever," when asked about what's for dinner, which way to go, or what movie to watch - I would make the call.
Wrong or right, what I discovered was that how many decisions we make are trivial and yet pondered endlessly. Try it. I'm back to thinking about these trivial choices but now I know that if I had to pick a sandwich immediately, I could.
